Artist: Joseph Shabason
Song: 13-15
Recorded at Yonge-Dundas Square (Intersection Festival – Day 3), September 3, 2022.
Returning after a couple pandemic hiatus years, the Intersection Festival made its way back to the concrete expanse of Yonge-Dundas Square, bringing abrasive and strange sounds to the wider public. Keeping to the main stage (except for Kristina Guison's circular sander art installation), this was a bit more of a stripped-down affair than years past, but the organizational caution meant things went off without a hitch. Even on a Labour Day weekend afternoon, downtown feels a little less hectic than it used to be, but it was nice to be outside and run into some familiar faces for the first time in so long.
This was my first chance to catch Joseph Shabason (and a stageful of his excellent frequent collaborators) since the release of last year's The Fellowship. This piece from the album was expanded onstage into a nice, long Hassellriffic groove (and the centrepiece of the too-short set) with tasty spotlights for Thim Gill (guitar) and Hugh Marsh (violin).
